3.1.1.12 NC Rename

NC Rename is an operation that runs on a single domain controller (DC) and
changes the identity and identity-related information of NC replicas hosted on the
DC. Except where noted, these changes are strictly local to the abstract data
of the DC (that is, the changes are not replicated). Because of this fact, NC
Rename can result in multiple DCs wherein each DC hosts an NC replica of the
same NC, but each DC has
different values for the abstract data relating to that NC. If such diverging
changes are performed, the protocol places no restriction on the behavior of
the DCs that hold the divergent abstract data. No mechanism in the protocol
prevents such diverging changes. It is recommended to users of the NC Rename
operation that great care be taken to make such possibly diverging changes on
every DC that is affected by the operation, thereby avoiding such divergence.
